Do I need to become a member to shoot at your club?
This is one of our top FAQs. Membership at the Janesville Conservation Club is not required if you want to shoot practice or participate in our registered ATA events. However, if you want to join our leagues, we do require membership.

How much does a membership cost?
Believe it or not, membership is currently only $20 per year—good January through December. That’s the best deal around, period.

What is the benefit of becoming a member?
In addition to allowing you to shoot in a league, it will reduce your cost per round of trap, plus we’ll let you use our indoor plumbing.

How much does it cost for a round of trap?
Singles and Wobble: non-member = $6.50, member = $6.00, youth = $5.50 (under 18, practice only)

Doubles: non-member = $13.00, member = $12.00, youth = $11.00 (under 18, practice only)

Can I purchase ammunition at the club?
Yes, target loads are available for all gauges. The price varies depending on gauge and brand.

Do you sell shotgun components?
Yes, we carry powder, primers, wads, and lead—for members only.

What about shooting supplies—do you sell those, too?
We sell towels, hats, barrel rests, blinders, wad knockers, and hull-pouch extenders.

What are my payment options?
We accept cash or checks for all activities. We do not accept credit cards. Cash only for Mary’s Kitchen.

Do you have an ATM machine at the club?
No we don’t, so come prepared with cash or a check.

What kind of events does the club hold?
We hold winter jackpots, leagues, non-registered shoots, and registered shoots. Registered shoots are ATA events. See our Event Calendar to see what’s scheduled.

Can I arrange a special event at your club?
That might be possible, depending on what the event is. Contact us with your request, and we’ll see what we can do.

Does the club offer introductory trapshooting lessons?
Yes we do. We have certified NRA Shotgun Coaches available to help. One option is to ask for help at the front desk when you come to the club. A second, preferred option, is to call to arrange a time for a lesson. That way, the front desk can make sure somebody is available to help.
